ALLLOUSTNOLOVE missed by a neck last out at Remington and now gets Bell to ride. I don’t think Bell is riding to stretch out his legs before the thoroughbreds hit the track if he didn’t think he had solid shot with this filly. BURNT IVORY led but tired to fourth versus tougher last effort at a huge price. MR BLACK CARTEL lone start was a decent running fifth losing by just half a length.

ONE KOOL WAGON finished strong to run third in a strong field here 3 weeks ago. ONE FAMOUS BLOSSOM enters with two consecutive victories breaking from gate alertly and closing well. JESS CHOO ME just missed 13 days ago by a head length and has every right to keep moving forward.

3 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $12,500. Purse: $13,000.

8: Cascadian Matt (Vergara, Lund)119/4-1

MISS DARLA drops a notch coming up from the Chicago circuit after lacking finishing stamina last three races after showing quick early foot. Could be tough with change of scenery. OBJECTION gave way after showing inside speed off the rail in Canterbury debut versus tougher. Should enjoy class relief and looks to be the one to catch. CASCADIAN MATT is another speedball who won last out setting the pace while riding to four-length victory at Turf Paradise for trainer Lund.

INSIDE DEAL set a slow pace last out on yielding course and held on stubbornly for her second consecutive victory. Goodwin remains at the helm, and is one of the best jock’s to have controlling the lead. MACHORINA came driving late in impressive return on the soft course to get up for the victory for Emerald Bay Stables. Look for pilot Bell to press the pace on front runner. VERTICAL LIFT could prove tough getting back on the preferred grass surface for Rhone/Butler team after dull performance last out in the dirt.

Give a slight edge to LAYOVER IN SEATTLE, who is the class of this field and exiting a couple of solid runnings in stake races down at Turf Paradise. BAND OF SILENCE will be imitating our top pick from the previous race with Goodwin aboard setting the fractions in the lead, taking them as far as he can go debuting on the turf. TRAGIC MAGIC will take some money at the window and likes to roll late but will have to overcome the obstacle of starting from post 10. HURRICANE HOUSTONS comes off a nine-month absence with a strong series of works.

In what appears to be a two-horse hunt for the gold, I’ll give the nod to FERMIN ES ELEGANTE who ran second pressing the pace of the rail at quick fractions. Main threat and front runner, IMPYS STAR won last out going gate-to-wire but at slow fractions and won’t get away with that today I don’t expect. GREELEY”S LEGEND stretches out from sprinting for trainer who is winning at high numbers in that department. Has ability to be on or near the lead.

BRASSY’S BLESSING takes class drop and like jockey pickup of Goodwin for Canterbury debut coming from Prairie Meadows to break maiden. Gelding likes to pick up the pieces rolling late. Another invader is SLEW CITY SIN who is a logical threat shipping from Tampa for the Arterburn barn. Needs only to maintain present form to be a factor. SMART MASTERPIECE and DOUBLE TALL need to be on tickets who run respectably and are candidates to get first win.

8 5 1/2 furlongs. open. Maiden claiming $7,500. Purse: $11,500.

8: L G Suprem (Butler, Fauchald)123/9-2

9: Sonny Money (Eikleberry, Silva)119/5-1

HES A PREACHER drops to lowest level of two year career after showing brief early speed last out in the slop before giving way to a jog pace. IDEAL ASSCHER was a non-factor in his two starts at Prairie Meadows in May but did show some ability racing here last summer. L G SUPREM been resting for nine months with some OK works coming in which is good enough for me with this group.

9 6 1/2 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming $4,000. Purse: $9,000.

9: Peckinpah (Escobar, Kirby)123/8-1

10: Sugar Storm (Butler, Rengstorf)123/7-2

11: Seattle Sal (Trimble, Porter)123/10-1

You can always count on REDNECK RICHIE to be up front in the mix for the first half, it’s after that which the reliable factor becomes a worry. Did improve last out to hold on for show money so maybe another step up today. A couple of runners who ran behind Redneck Richie and could turn the table today are HI PRIM and TYMAKER, who both ran wide in closing.

ROYAL BLUFF takes deep dive in class, shows decent early speed, and should be a nice price at post to make her my top pick in this wide-open nightcap. GAELIC PRIDE pressed the pace to miss breaking her maiden by a head last out after the class drop. Major player and probable favorite. BREAK ON TOP and HIGHJUMPINJENNIE figure to be in the hunt from the beginning with alert starts and early foot for winning trainers.
